Plastics FAQs
Custom automation systems are tailored for specific stages of plastic production, including injection moulding, extrusion, and thermoforming. They incorporate specialised equipment such as robotics, vision systems, advanced sensors, programmable logic controllers, and intelligent software to automate critical operations effectively.
Custom automation enables plastics companies to enhance competitiveness by optimising production output while upholding stringent quality standards. Additionally, this automation minimises human involvement, resulting in lower labour costs and reduced workplace accidents. Some of our core capabilities include:
- Turnkey automation solutions
- Extrusion automation
- Injection moulding automation
- Thermoforming automation
- Blow moulding automation
- Data analytics and IoT integration

RNA has a lot of experience within the plastics moulding industry, we work with multiple key OEM machinery suppliers directly and have a lot of years of built up internal knowledge. We have successfully completed many simple project’s demoulding then assembling all the way up to over moulding inserts with full inspection and test cells afterwards. The reason RNA can help you with your plastics project is the key understanding of plastic moulding and all of it processes, having worked in plastics moulding myself for the last 14 years it means I can understand your process and help guide you with the best way to get the results you require.
